<strong><span style="color: #99cc00;">Welcome to Red Earth Scrapping!</span></strong></h1>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
You will recall way back in October I shocked many of you with an
announcement about Red Earth Scrapping being offered for sale. Since
that time I have had a few enquiries from people interested in the
business, but sadly the timing is not right for them, and I have now
made the decision to close Red Earth Scrapping.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
This truly breaks my heart as it was less than 3 years ago I
started the process of turning my dream into reality. I've put so much
time and effort into the business - and honestly, have enjoyed it
immensely - but in those few years our family circumstances have
changed too, and I simply dont have the time and energy to put into
RES. As you know, I married a farmer and have embraced all things about
living and working on the land. My husband and I now run the family
farm business which is quite an undertaking, and we have huge and
exciting plans for our future. This is where I now need to focus my
time and energies, along with being a wife and mother, and picking up
work at the local highschool to supplement our income. Having somehow
survived 10 years of drought, the farm business requires all our
efforts to once again thrive, especially in such tough economic times.</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
And
so it has come that RES will be closing its doors on the 31st January
2013, exactly 2 & 1/2 years after opening them. But what a great
ride it's been!</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
To
CELEBRATE those years and the fun, inspiration and precious friendships
shared, we are having a sale - 33% off everything for the entire
month of January. And then the doors will close, the website will be
offline.</h4>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I recently made the long trek to Newcastle to attend a crop day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So? Big deal!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Well for me, it was a big deal, and it reaffirmed for me why I scrap, and what I get out of it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, <span style="font-size: small;">i</span></span>f you would please indulge me a little and read on ... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><u><b>What do I get out of scrapbooking?</b></u> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">My</span> blog post is largely inspired by <a href="http://www.mumofheidi.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/what-do-i-get-out-of-scrapbooking.html" target="_blank">this post</a> by the lovely <a href="http://www.mumofheidi.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Kate</a>. She posed the question and once I read through her beautifully written and thoughtful post, I felt the need to answer the question too - answer it for myself as much as everyone else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I love this quote from her - "<span style="color: #38761d;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I
think with anything you are passionate about, you can get so caught up
doing it, thinking about it, dreaming of it that you forget to ask
yourself why you are actually doing it and what you hope to achieve out
of it. </span></i></span>"<br /><span style="color: #bf9000;"><i><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></i></span></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Speaking of that crop day in Newcastle, and Kate ... well, we FINALLY got to meet in real life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbh0dE6WPhNPnR82g4LMnsTcKNskkld9FHheQlyTa1JhChvvZjkGXFiqP-rXP0RPtpzFLVnfJa6BYXnjHmDMYWldz0d1ezkECOGXy_ljLh_t2Hurv67-Tl42X3ZDxd_MsCr_eLU0UMTfw/s1600/Kate+&+Helen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbh0dE6WPhNPnR82g4LMnsTcKNskkld9FHheQlyTa1JhChvvZjkGXFiqP-rXP0RPtpzFLVnfJa6BYXnjHmDMYWldz0d1ezkECOGXy_ljLh_t2Hurv67-Tl42X3ZDxd_MsCr_eLU0UMTfw/s1600/Kate+&+Helen.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">She was just as I expecte<span style="font-size: small;">d,</span><i><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></i><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: black;">absolutely lovely</span></span> - mwah to you my gorgeous friend xxx.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">And I also got to see my dear friend Michelle again (since her shop, <a href="http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrapbook Divas</a>, was hosting the day).</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguBku72xR_PccD1rdCN9MgxSuP1mvStSPwFVx2vLdaZlIiTfAriwQ5D5uQy96QpWKweuF944B7iaG_VjOET4TwY7fZb_BQR4nhWdYE17oJgpzJ6MddfX9TQkEdymrQL4KhqD1ZArIFGfQ/s1600/Kate+&+Michelle+&+Helen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguBku72xR_PccD1rdCN9MgxSuP1mvStSPwFVx2vLdaZlIiTfAriwQ5D5uQy96QpWKweuF944B7iaG_VjOET4TwY7fZb_BQR4nhWdYE17oJgpzJ6MddfX9TQkEdymrQL4KhqD1ZArIFGfQ/s320/Kate+&+Michelle+&+Helen.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">*** waving to Michelle too ***</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So back to the trek to Newcastle ... it was a good 6-7 hour drive from our place to Newcastle but that didn't bother me. Originally I was just going to go and bring the children (which Michelle's husband had so generously agreed to mind) but then Marty was able to squeeze in a few days off so he took the chance for a quick family break which was fantastic for us. He and the kids fended for themselves, went 4WDing on Stockton Beach, swam and played and wore themselves out!<br />
<br />
I spent the entire day however surrounded by creative, crafty ladies feeling very inspired and relaxed.<br />
<br />
The crop day was in fact a fundraiser for breast cancer research in memory of a local scrapping lady, Amanda, who was known in many circles and who I had the pleasure of sharing with on many online scrappy sites, as well as meeting in person at Michelle's Scrapbook Divas retreat back in early 2008.<br />
<br />
Hahaha, look! Just found a pic of the Divas (website) girls from the retreat - Amanda is in the centre back.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNOr0bwViyspFnU1DcMA55iazAqlehHHC4BjDkcHCa0O1HmRvFfdszn5xlI-q9Kvu4gRs3RzcUCQIOuONXZnWpasKb_AY1uTySwwrmVXpxJuyCMiTrzGi5wzXLbatOmJSs1ll6PdeLnlE/s1600/IMG_4456.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNOr0bwViyspFnU1DcMA55iazAqlehHHC4BjDkcHCa0O1HmRvFfdszn5xlI-q9Kvu4gRs3RzcUCQIOuONXZnWpasKb_AY1uTySwwrmVXpxJuyCMiTrzGi5wzXLbatOmJSs1ll6PdeLnlE/s320/IMG_4456.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly Amanda's very long battle with cancer ended earlier this year. She was just 49. She was, quite simply, a beautiful soul. And while her passing has obviously left a huge hole in the lives of her family and friends, she left a precious legacy, especially for her children, in the form of her scrapbooks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, why do I scrap? What do I get out of scrapbooking?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly I guess, doing somthing creative or arty/crafty is something I've always done, always been interested in, right from when I was very young. It's part of who I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As many of you know, my first foray into "scrapbooking" was collecting all the ephemera during my 9 months living and working in London and travelling throughout the UK and Europe (back in 2001). I bought some art journals and literally made scrap-books of all I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess paper and glue was my calling ... fast forward to 2004 when I was pregnant with our first child, Caitlin, and I discovered scrapbooking via Creative Memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps starting our family was the real catalyst to want to record and preserve not just photos, but memories and feelings and information.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is still the basis of why I scrap. I whole-heartedly believe that future generations need to know, and will hopefully want to know, the details about their family and friends before them, just as I love to flick through the photos and notes of not only my parents (who are now in their 60's) but also my grandparents (all now passed away) and back it goes. When parents and grandparents, and other family and friends are no longer here to talk about times gone by, a record of who, what, when, where and why is not only interesting, but hugely important. Well, so I believe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course not everyone may agree, but that's just my opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then of course, comes the creativity. And I think the 2 go hand in hand beautifully.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See that quote at the very beginning of this post? Perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to preserve and record things in my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love photos and photography</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love being creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put it all together and I've covered all bases I reckon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But ... what if my romantic notions aren't seen in the same light by my children and future generations? What if those albums are tossed, memories lost, details forgotten?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it will be their loss! I just hope that if my children/grandchildren want to chuck my scrapbooks then it wont be til after I'm long gone from this earth LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I dont dwell too much on the future because, realistically, it's not my problem, it's beyond my control. I know that what I create now give me great joy, great pleasure and a sense of satisfaction. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I dont scrap for any other reason than to create. Scrapping is my hobby of choice, creatively speaking, so it should never feel like I *have to* scrap this or that picture or event or place or memory.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband loves motorbikes. That's his personal interest and hobby. He loves nothing better than getting on his dirt bike in all the gear and roaring off for an afternoon bashing through the scrub with a mate. He also doesn't mind a Sunday cruise on a Harley Davidson either (and cant wait for the day he'll have his own Harley). To him that's his "creative" escape and he has to try and fit that hobby time into his incredibly tough work schedule.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>For those who dont know, Marty runs/manages our rather big family farming business which is pretty much a full on, flat out kind of "job" for most of the year. There's no Monday-Friday. There's no 9-5. The farm is his life, but he also knows that it's not everything in his life which I think is hugely important.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> </i>For me, it's creating. Something. Anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paper and glue and pretty things are fabulous. I am starting to dabble in patchwork. I consider myself a bit of a creative cook too (but by no means a masterchef LOL).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am finding it very hard these days to get time to create. Just like Marty finds it hard to get time to go for a ride. But, I think it is hugely important that we do find time, make time, make the effort to follow our creative pursuits, whatever they may be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's why I went all the way to Newcastle for a crop day, albeit a rather special one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe a hobby can make you a better person. It gives you something else in your life. It challenges you. It creates all sorts of opportunities for learning, for growing, for interacting and friendships.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It gives you purpose, perspective, and joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>"The time has come the walrus said ... for RES to move ahead."</em></strong></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
After
much soul searching and some serious debating (both practical and
emotional), I have decided it is time to allow someone else to continue
the Red Earth journey, and take my baby to the next level.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
The
last 2 & and half years have been the most wonderful experience -
my dream of combining my passion of scrapbooking with a business venture
became reality and flourished. I achieved my goal of creating a warm
and friendly community, developing beautiful friendships and providing
great products, at great prices with great service. The "work" is always
enjoyable and easy to manage.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
They
say all good things must come to an end, but I see this as the next
chapter for RES, and for myself. It's not the end, it's really the
beginning, an opportunity for YOU to now take on the business and make
it your own, take it further and keep Red Earth Scrapping alive and well
in the industry.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
It's time for me to focus on our farm business, our family and my new job.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
So
I now extend the invitation to you, and the Australian Scrapbooking
community, and am calling for Expressions of Interest for the sale of Red
Earth Scrapping.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
We have an
excellent online presence, an established name, image and fully
functioning website, and a huge database of customers.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Please contact me directly at <a href="mailto:helen@redearthscrapping.com.au">helen@redearthscrapping.com.au</a> for details of business facts and figures and other information. All enquiries will be treated confidentially.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" class="mceItem" height="101" rel="lightbox" src="http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w452/Helen_Kinsela/RESlogo1expinterest.jpg" width="320" /></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
In the mean time however it will be business as usual at Red Earth Scrapping.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
With
the arrival of spring there's been an influx of gorgeous new products
in the shop. Our monthly challenges are all happening as per usual and
the daily chit chat, forum swaps and gallery inspiration continues.</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>happy shopping & happy scrapping!</em></strong></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">

Totally slack, yep I know. But there's been so much happening in our lives that blogging has been the least of my priorities. However this evening I plan to rectify that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So ... things have been super busy on the farm (yeah I know, what's new), but we were also busy holidaying in June/July. Sounds great I know ... and it was great. Seriously great. It's the longest break Marty and I have EVER had and all our hard work in saving and organising and preparing for our fabulous RED CENTRE ADVENTURE (4WD and camper trailer tour) was worth it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 weeks, 8,000km, 1,600 photos and priceless memories and experiences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a pictorial overview plus some details of our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151960731465302.885583.777415301&type=1" target="_blank">Red Centre Adventure</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just a couple of pics for the blog ... just cos!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(OK so it's more than a couple ... it's so hard to chose when we went to so many awesome places lol).</div>

On our return it was straight back to work on the farm for us - me in the office (plus Red Earth Scrapping work) and Marty with spraying (weeds) and spreading fertiliser etc. Our crops are looking fantastic this year. Cross your fingers for us we have a bumper year, we're sure overdue for one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's only been the last week or so that things have slowed just a little and I felt caught up and organised enough to do something for me - SCRAPPING! Gosh it had been so long it was very strange indeed, but I was so thrilled to get the mojo happening on the weekend and I churned out these 4 LO's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're nothing fancy but I am so pleased to have used up lots of scraps and odds & sodds in embellies, plus got photos and memories down on a page. So here goes ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first page is actually for Susanne's challenge for our Cyber Crop this month over at Red Earth Scrapping - to use no more than 12 elements in total on the page, yup, including the base and photo! It was actually easier than I thought although I confess I totally scraplifted Sue (thanks).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The other pages are "just cos". </div>

Yes I even did a double using all scraps and left over bits (except for the 2 pieces of white c/s).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this LO I've been working on for a while, a bit here, a bit there and finally it all somehow came together. I've used white paint, lots of misting, swiped some ink and then assembled a variety of different embellishments (oh and more scraps of c/s plus some REALLY old pp lol) that * I think * turned out ok. I do love this photo though (I played with it a little in Picnik before it closed down) and seriously hope that the rainbow was a good sign for us this year.</div>

Yep, over the last few weeks I've squeezed in a little bit here and there (sometimes at the expense of housework lol) to create these layouts and cards.<br />
<br />
These cards are all made using scraps only, yes even the cardstock was left over pieces and I dug through my stash pulling out bits of patterned paper, odds and sods of embellies etc and this is what I managed to whip up.<br />

Well I created a LO on this idea for the next round of Stuck Sketches applications ... which although didn't get me a spot on the team for the next round, I absolutely love nonetheless so I thought I'd better finally share it with you.<br />

Sketches :'(<div style="text-align: center;">What a fabulous albeit short 6 month stint with <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Stuck?! Sketches</a>!!! Gosh, I cant believe my time is up already, but it's been so much fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've always loved Sara's sketches, and over the last 6 months especially when I really haven't had time for any other scrapping, my CT commitment has kept me going. I hope in some way to have inspired people with my samples, even just a little.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.redearthscrapping.com.au/" target="_blank">Red Earth Scrapping</a> will continue to be a proud sponsor each month at Stuck so I hope you'll continue to support both this great sketch challenge blog, and RES too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here's the final sketch for February and my sample page ... I really loved how this page came together after a shaky start, once I got the product combo right the rest was easy. And the title? Inspired by <a href="http://youtu.be/eh7cvXFQIvg" target="_blank">Lady Antebellum's "Heart of the World" </a>... </div><br />

Sketches</a> samples and the other 1 is for my application for the next Creative Team term over at Stuck.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I can share a LO I did just after Christmas for the little <a href="http://redearthscrapping.com.au/forum/373" target="_blank">Happy Scrappy New Year</a> competition we ran over at <a href="http://www.redearthscrapping.com.au/" target="_blank">Red Earth Scrapping</a>.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzWyoOJdpS1XWvs4D0zhQvFswkczNFzvZkkDr3TQ1QcMW7iaj-dxzhW2yHq_UDtN_K74W-V-oAXA-UMXTwQgUbF-SK9PIMdlzYl9gqSnXQzhiptKVIT1GmWXaMbohiIO2FhJhTOFmTEG0/s1600/IMG_9010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzWyoOJdpS1XWvs4D0zhQvFswkczNFzvZkkDr3TQ1QcMW7iaj-dxzhW2yHq_UDtN_K74W-V-oAXA-UMXTwQgUbF-SK9PIMdlzYl9gqSnXQzhiptKVIT1GmWXaMbohiIO2FhJhTOFmTEG0/s320/IMG_9010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The criteria was to create a LO using a photo/s from Christmas 2011 and use NON-christmassy papers and embellies. Hidden journalling was also a requirement and the bonus item was "something sticky ..." which was of course stickers!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was the first of 5 challenges. The next was a treasure hunt, then my fabulous CT girls Amanda and Susanne presented another 2 scrappy challenges and finally the last one, from me, was a set of cards using scraps, based on a similar theme/style AND the bonus item of "love makes the world go round" which was hearts or a similar symbol of love - the word love was also ok.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So here's my set of 3 cards using all scraps and odds and ends sitting on my desk - the only new thing was 1 sheet of c/s (allowed).</div><br />

I decided to use up some old stash and old pics but of course couldn't resist throwing a few new little pretties on there, or at least more recent purchases than the papers and photo.<br />
<br />
Here's the sketch ...<br />

Yes, we have both a group (for the chatty sort of stuff) and now a page as well where the details of what's happening, what's new plus a few other activities will take place.<br />
<br />
So I'd love it if you would head on over to our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Red-Earth-Scrapping/185905494838616" target="_blank">Facebook Page</a> and "like" us today.<br />

<br />
I'm doing prize draws at 50, 100, 150 and 200 "likes" ... we made it just over the 100 mark in a little over 24 hours which was fantastic but we really need to push it up to 200 now. Make sure when you "like" us you also then "share" our RES page on your wall and leave a comment so I can pop you in the draw.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Rascal Flatts song "My Wish" ... check it out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyjq5SCbjQk&feature=related" target="_blank">here on YouTube</a> and the <a href="http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rascalflatts/mywish.html" target="_blank">lyrics here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>"... My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,<br />
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,<br />
You never need to carry more than you can hold,<br />
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,<br />
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,<br />
Yeah, this, is my wish ..."</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, 2012 is here. And this is the year for US, Marty and I and our children, Caitlin and Ciaran. It's for us as a couple, as a family and for us in our farm business. I dont have a word or phrase as such for the year ahead as many people do, neither do I have any NY resolutions, but rather a focus for us, on which our choices and decisions will be based.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Here's to US in 2012!!!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We brought the new year in camping and water skiing at <a href="http://www.stateparks.nsw.gov.au/grabine_lakeside" target="_blank">Grabine</a> (Wyangala Dam) with our besties. 3 fabulous days and nights of fun, friendship, laughter, outdoors and NO HASSLES!!! Bliss ...</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"> We were able to put the camper trailer to proper use (not just the 1 night we put it up for on the way home from having picked it up in Melbourne way back in March!) and had a terrific spot. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">And the exciting thing was Ciaran skiing!!! So proud of our little man. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Yes, and Mummy had a go too, manage to get up first go and stay up so that's good enough for me! </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzNTcgn7UME32-n1xA7tQg_UaiTbf4vDgm1g6DcQvy7MhIvDCK4-GHARhjhkM_x6kIZiSGnGiXNrrry00dqwdDQj43dLt_mMWka6BOqhhj2mj9J58dwyvHf3VanjQJDep4t1YM1wiTOg/s1600/2012_01_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzNTcgn7UME32-n1xA7tQg_UaiTbf4vDgm1g6DcQvy7MhIvDCK4-GHARhjhkM_x6kIZiSGnGiXNrrry00dqwdDQj43dLt_mMWka6BOqhhj2mj9J58dwyvHf3VanjQJDep4t1YM1wiTOg/s320/2012_01_01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Ciaran had another go the next day and got it too. He was a little scared and carried on a treat (while still holding on and skiing beautifully, mind you) and when he came back in and asked what was wrong, he realised that nothing bad happened and it was actually fun! He was so proud of himself though.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Each evening as the sun started to set we'd pack up from down by the water, shower the children, cook a yummy but simple BBQ dinner and salad and then settle in for a few quiet drinks and talk until late. On NYE we got the kids to bed and got the cards out ... and a bottle of Baileys ... and a bottle of Butterscotch Schnapps ... which 4 of us demolished in less than 2 hours!!! We had the giggles up playing cards, we counted down to midnight, hugs and kisses all round then it was back to cards and finally bed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Gosh it was fun and thankfully no sore heads in the morning.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So that was our short but very sweet little break away.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What did you do? Did you go anywhere? How did you bring in the NY?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

There's still time to get involved, it's 26 days/letters of festive fun and sharing - it's not all scrappy or crafty related so there should be no excuse.<br />
If you're reading this blog you'd better head to the forum, or our Facebook Group and say hi :)<br />

All the following LO's and cards are created purely from my pile of off-cuts (oh, with the exception of a few sheets of c/s, but that's all, I promise).<br />

This LO was using some pretties from RES I'd been holding in my stash for a little while, just waiting for the right creative juices to flow and come up with a plan to use them. So here's what I created using the Glitz papers and other lovely bits and pieces from my stash ...<br />

Ahhh, bliss ... I could have stayed at least another day, I was really finding my scrappy groove and having a wonderful time with my special, dear friends, Michelle and Natalie. But alas, all good things must come to an end.<br />
<br />
But here's some pics of what I managed to create on the weekend at Wisemans Ferry. Actually did 7 LO's but 2 I cant show you yet cos they're for the Stuck?! October sketches. I also did 2 mini albums will share them another time (if I remember LOL).<br />

Cant wait for next year's retreat ... Marty even said I should go every year, maybe even twice LOL, but only so he can get "points" for his boys/motorbike weekend away. Not that I'd ever stop him but hey, if he says I can go to a scrappy retreat each year then I'm there!!!<br />
<br />
Oh one last photo which I know Michelle and Nat wont like but hey, I think it's cute and besides, I already put it on FB.<br />

SEVEN!!! Gosh she's growing up.<br />
<br />
Her birthday fell on Fathers Day which she found very amusing for some reason, Daddy would have to share his day with her day! We started off with presents for Daddy but then the day was all hers. She got loads of presents of course and we had the family over for a long, relaxed lunch/afternoon. <br />

Today, Sara, has revealed the rest of the CT September samples for the first sketch this month ... and here's my page.<br />
